    802 tripping overload

    The burden resistors, R15 and a few other parts are mounted on a metal plate that's inside the control cube. Open the meter panel and lower it down. Then look on the left side of the back wall of the cube. You should see this with the components you are looking for. (Double click image to...

    It finally arrived, MEP-803a

    My 802 came with one installed. It's kept in the garage so I disconnected it. I use a pair of Battery Tenders to maintain the batteries.

    Short circuit /overload relay repair help MEP-802A

    The board is soldered to the two terminal strips. The round solder pads on the two edges of the board. That looks to be why the board will not come out. If you have the right solder removal equipment you might be able to unsolder the terminal strips and get the board out. However you risk...

    Need Consoling.....

    You may need to "exercise" the reconnection switch. The contacts may be oxidized from sitting so long and not making good contact. Only exercise the switch with the set shut down.

    New to me 802

    Also check the rubber cap on the unused water pump port. They tend to dry rot and start leaking coolant.

    New to me 802

    My 802 had crap in there too. I had to repair my radiator because when they drained it they damaged it so I had to tear it down to repair it. With patience and a what seems a zillion bolts you can take the sheet metal apart and get in there. Or you can use a shop vac with a skinny tube, as...

    Need Consoling.....

    CapePrep, Your load situation is similar to mine here in Mass. I've had an 802 for a few years and it has been more than adequate for my needs. I find I can get by on 1.5 KW to keep the lights on, heat on, fridge running, computers and entertainment center humming along during a storm outage...

    Safest way to uses a MEP 804b as a backup generator

    You'll only get 208 volts instead of 240 volts across the two phases used. Not sure if any of your 240 loads will care.

    Military MEP generator reset information

    Just look to see if there is a fuse holder and fuse to the left side of the A1 Voltage Regulator between A1 and the reconnection switch. If it's there then you have the fuse mod.

    MEP 803A will not turn on?

    I'd suggest first checking the connections from K8 to the S7 the Battle Short switch. Check the following with the genset OFF and Battle Short OFF. K8 terminal 8 should be connected to S7 terminal 6. Check for continuity between these two points. ~ 0 ohms K8 terminal 7 should be connected to...

    MEP 803A will not turn on?

    Pin 2 on DS7 is behaving as it should. With Battle Short ON this bypasses the Overload section of the K8 relay so it's behaving as if there was an overload detected by K8. Looks like either an issue with K8, wiring to K8, or wiring and/or components that send signals to K8 such as Burden...
